News GFWC-OK McAlester Fortnightly members are ending their 2009 year as busy as ever. The Cornerstone Creations Department prepared the decorations for the SE District Convention held in McAlester in October in conjunction with the Mainstreet McAlester Car Show. Many thanks to the 13 members of this department of McAlester Fortnightly. Great team work enabled this group to pull this complicated event off. CASA of SE Oklahoma benefitted from the Done in a Day Project. 22 "Save the CASA Kids" bags were donated to the CASA offices which serve our SE District 7 club area. Photos are shown in the Holiday Photo Tab. The Homemakers Department collected Box Tops for Education which were donated to the William Gay Early Childhood Center. This Department gathered items for the local Battered Women's Shelter supporting the GFWC International President's project of Domestic Violence. These items are a holiday donation for 2009. The Ceramic & Crafts department held their Nov 2 fundraiser by providing brunch and numerous items for Silent Auction. Casual Gourmet members continue work on the walking trail at Mike Deak Field improving the landscaping for residents who walk each day for their health. |

The 115th Annual GFWC International Convention was held at the Denver Marriott Tech Center in South Denver. Located close to Cherry Creek State Park, it was a lovely setting for this convention. Twelve delegates from Oklahoma attended the convention. The Theme was ""Up, Up and Away - New Horizons and Beyond" for this convention. After the processional introduction of officers, Missi McCoy, GFWC Citizenship Chairman presented a heart moving presentation of "There She Stands" the U.S. Flag Ceremony. Each State President made a kite and flew them around the convention floor as delegates sang "Let's Go Fly A Kite".
